Abstract

Amputation is a surgical operation to remove a part or limb from the body due to some major illness, birth defect, accidents, vascular disease, surgery, etc. The number of amputee patients is increasing day by day all over the world and in most cases they cannot afford the imported legs because these legs are expensive and heavy. Hence the present review article explains the development of light weight and cost-effective Biocomposites for prosthesis limb applications. The details of the performance of exiting biomaterials for knee prostheses application have been explained, and their advantages, disadvantages, and limitation of their uses have been analyzed. To explore patients’,satisfaction, design analysis of prosthetic limb components has been discussed to provide better suitability, stability, and comfortability for stable movement of adaptive legs. This review also discusses the factors that affect the performance of the prosthetic limb. Fiber-reinforced composites are the best suited and promising biomaterials for prosthetic limb application due to greater flexible design and lighter weight that provide higher specific strength and stiffness compared to conventional biomaterials. Due to the rapid increase in patients, the availability and cost of biomaterials are the major issues and problem in achieving cost-effective prosthesis for weaker people as well as for short-term usages. Therefore, to meet the current challenge, naturally derived Biocomposites are the best promising and suited biomaterials for developing prosthesis sockets due to their availability, lighter weight, more cost-effective, more biocompatible, and biostable compared to other existing materials, providing good specific strength and stiffness.
